Tournament Storylines

IMG Academy Preseason Series

The IMG Academy Preseason Series is designed specifically for AJGA members who have not yet been accepted to an AJGA tournament. For those members, the series offers the opportunity to compete against players with similar skill levels while building Performance Based Entry status before application deadlines arrive for summer Open and Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy Junior All-Star Series events.

Oak Valley Golf Club

Nestled at the base of the San Gorgonio and San Jacinto mountain ranges, Oak Valley Golf Club provides natural rolling terrain and picturesque views. The course features well-manicured bunkers, native grass areas and a touch of water to provide difficulty and beauty. This year marks the sixth straight year the AJGA has held an IMG Academy Preseason Series event at Oak Valley.

Media Accommodations

The Preseason Junior at Oak Valley will have AJGA communications representatives on hand to assist media throughout the week. Prior to the tournament the AJGA will provide information about the event and its participants, as well as assist with player interviews.

After each round, media officials on-site will write a recap with the day's results. These will be emailed to all media outlets. Interviews with AJGA Tournament Directors, Tournament Chairmen and juniors may be conducted before or after tournament rounds.
